Hi folks, Better late than never, glibc 2.41 should land in -proposed in during the weekend. While upstream has done its usual job, I usually "bake" the release much more than this, so there might be a bit more unforeseen breakage than usual this time around, my apologies.
A high-level overview of the changes is available at https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/info-gnu/2025-01/msg00014.html The good news is packages that do not use the new APIs shouldn't get stuck behind the glibc transition, as symbols versioned to 2.41 didn't exist beforehand. The following are semi-educated guesses as to what could pose some issues: * getenv/setenv, if you're doing weird things with it (as for instance bash), since they've seen significant work regarding thread safety * floating point calculations on ppc64el: a few tests are failing on NaNs on ppc64el. I doubt it'll break real-world code but I have been known to be wrong once in a while. * execstack-related failures: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=32653 Cheers, Simon -- ubuntu-devel mailing list ubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel
